Douluo 2 : Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

"Is this a Seagod Pavilion meeting? It seems like it's not the time for the annual regular meeting yet? Was this meeting called on short notice by Elder Mu?"

Xuan Zi, with his hair disheveled like a mess, sat on the steps. He raised his eyes to look at Yan Shaozhe, who looked weak all over. A hint of clarity finally appeared in his confused eyes.

The Seagod Pavilion meeting is the highest meeting of Shrek Academy, which decides all major matters. Upon hearing this word, even the drunken Xuanzi sobered up for a moment.

But it was only for a moment. Without waiting for Yan Shaozhe to answer, he looked back at the chicken leg and wine gourd in his arms. He picked up the gourd and drank a big gulp of wine, then bit off a big piece of meat, as if only this would make him feel better.

"Yes, I heard from the teacher that this meeting was held for Le Xuan, Bei Bei and others to discuss the training of the reserve forces of the Sea God Pavilion."

Yan Shaozhe looked at the second strongest man of Shrek Academy who was almost in ruins with a face full of pity, and replied in a low voice.

It has only been a short time. When Master Xuan went to the Star Dou Great Forest two months ago, he was so high-spirited and full of energy. He was the undisputed number one genius of Shrek Academy, the Taotie Douluo who was feared throughout the continent, and the undisputed successor of Dragon God Douluo.

After the operation was over, he was supposed to inherit his teacher's position. If nothing unexpected happened, he would now be the new leader of the Seagod Pavilion, and his teacher, who had worked hard for half his life, could finally put down his burden and have a good rest.

But now, everything has changed...

He didn't hate Elder Xuan, he only hated that abominable 100,000-year-old beast for not having eyes and staying in his own territory to eat whatever soul beasts he wanted. Why did he attack the disciples of the Shrek Inner Court?! Every inner court disciple was the most precious treasure of Shrek Academy. Although this incident was largely due to their own carelessness, the ending of eight deaths and four injuries was something he, as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, never wanted to see.

Except for one Soul Guidance disciple, all the others were elites of his Martial Soul Department! Among them were two generations of Shrek Seven Devils, which he was proud of! Eight people died tragically, and the rest were lying on the bed, two of them were missing arms and legs, and only Zhang Lexuan, who had taken the Xuanwu Pill, was in a slightly better condition.

The only thing worth being happy about is that Zhang Lexuan absorbed the soul ring and soul bone of the beast, becoming the youngest Soul Douluo in Shrek Academy in the past three thousand years. He is already a promising Extreme Douluo.

Even if she failed to break through to the Limit Douluo, she would be able to cultivate to level 98 at least in the future, which would be enough to ensure the orderly inheritance of Shrek's strong echelon.

However... as soon as he thought of Zhang Lexuan's 100,000-year eighth ring, Yan Shaozhe suddenly remembered the greatest humiliation in his life that he had suffered some time ago, and his eyes suddenly became a little gloomy.

That old thing was also in the eighth ring of a hundred thousand years, so he couldn't take revenge for the time being, but he wanted to see if any new powerful figures would appear in the Xuanming Sect after that old thing passed away.

Relying on his high cultivation level to bully him like that, it's simply shameless, hum! Xuan Zi, who was immersed in wine and meat, naturally didn't notice the change in Yan Shaozhe's eyes. He bit off the chicken thigh meat in his hand in a few bites, patted his sleeves with his greasy hands without any care, drooped his eyelids, staggered to his feet, and took the lead in walking towards the direction of Seagod Lake.

Putting down the wine and chicken legs, he seemed to have finally regained some of the demeanor of the continent's top powerhouse. After walking for a while, he turned to Yan Shaozhe and said, "Le Xuan and Bei Bei are both children we watched grow up. They are the academy's own people with a good family background and the pride of our Wuhun Department now and in the future. Since this is about them, we must strive to get the greatest benefit for them."

"That's natural. I believe the teacher thinks so too."

Yan Shaozhe spoke respectfully, followed Xuanzi step by step for a distance, and came to the shore of Seagod Lake. The Seagod Island, which was hidden in the mist, appeared in their sight.

A small boat had already stopped here, and the two of them stepped on it. Yan Shaozhe gently activated his soul power, and the boat headed steadily towards the Sea God Island.

Seeing that Master Xuan was still in a bad mood, Yan Shaozhe sighed and whispered: "Master Xuan, this accident is not your fault, and you should not blame yourself too much; didn't Le Xuan ask you to cheer up and stay in Seagod Pavilion on behalf of the children? None of us wants this to happen."

Xuan Zi looked very lonely, and shook his head in pain, saying, "Shao Zhe, you don't need to comfort me. Whenever I see Le Xuan, I will be reminded of the nightmare I had two months ago."

"Eight well-trained inner court disciples died right in front of my eyes; two of them were left with lifelong disabilities, and Le Xuan and another disciple were also seriously injured. "

"In order to train them, Shrek has spent countless resources and efforts. The families behind some of them are also very powerful. The loss caused to the academy this time is too great. I am the only one who can bear this responsibility, and I am unwilling to forgive myself."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed, he grabbed Xuanzi's hand, and said excitedly:

"But Master Xuan, no one can be guaranteed to make mistakes! The moment those disciples entered the inner courtyard, they should have been prepared to put life and death aside. Every year, some of their classmates have misfortunes while performing the tasks of the Supervisory Group. Can you be blamed for all this?"

"Besides, the responsibility this time is not entirely yours. It also has a lot to do with Xiyue and Lexuan's carelessness. In addition, the strength of the 100,000-year soul beast is so strong that even two Titled Douluo may not be able to take it down. This can only mean that those disciples have bad luck."

"You have already paid a huge price for this matter. If it weren't for giving an explanation to those families and disciples, why would you refuse to take over your teacher's position as the leader of the Sea God Pavilion? Master Xuan, you are the backbone of the academy, you must cheer up!"

Elder Xuan sighed and said, "Shao Zhe, you don't have to say anything more. Since Le Xuan has been kneeling for a long time, how can I bear to hurt her heart again? Don't worry, my old bones can still fight and support you until you grow up. I can still take over as the Lord of the Sea God."

"All I can do now is to keep this guilty body and make more contributions to Shrek and the new disciples in the future. Only in this way can I make up for the mistakes I made."

"I'm glad you think so!"

Yan Shaozhe was overjoyed. Mu Lao had long since stopped caring about specific matters. Xuan Lao was the face of his martial spirit system. As long as Xuan Lao, the second strongest man on the continent, was in charge, no matter what internal or external challenges he faced, it would be impossible to shake his position in the Shrek martial spirit system!

As for that old monster Xu, he was born in a wild way after all, how could he be the opponent of Xuan Lao, the first genius of Shrek? Xuan Lao had been taught by Mu Lao for many years, and had been cultivated by Shrek for thousands of years. It was even more impossible for the Taotie Divine Bull martial spirit to lose to their divine beast Xuanwu!

And Xu Tianxi, that kid, Beibei was a few years older than him. He followed his teacher to practice since he was a child, and now he has two times the style of his teacher. His brother Xu Sanshi practiced here for a year and could barely match Beibei.

"I hope that kid has some self-awareness and stops dreaming of entering this supreme soul master holy land. Otherwise, he will definitely know how pale and ridiculous his words are when he questioned Shrek's Glory…"

Thinking of Xu Xiaoyun and Xu Tianxi, and looking at the nearby Sea God Island, Yan Shaozhe's sallow face suddenly showed a hint of sarcasm. Summer insects cannot talk about ice. The little kid really doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! However, as the dean of the Wuhun School, it would be a bit embarrassing to argue with this kid. Maybe he could ask Du Weilun to find out about him. It is estimated that the kid should have awakened his Wuhun by now...

…

At the same time, deep in the Seagod Island, in the Seagod Pavilion which is a three-story small pavilion.

Zhang Lexuan, whose complexion was much better than it was more than half a month ago, but still looked a little sickly pale, squatted respectfully and whispered something to the white-haired old man who was half lying on the golden bench next to her.

"... Elder Mu, Le Xuan swears on her martial spirit that everything she just said is true. Although Sister Xiyue's child was disrespectful to the elders and beat Dean Yan, what Dean Yan said to the child may have been a bit too much."

"Le Xuan didn't dare to criticize Dean Yan's way of maintaining the honor of the college. However, Le Xuan felt that these sacred things were probably incomprehensible to a child who had just lost his mother. It was understandable that he did such a thing in a fit of rage."

"Le Xuan has already made a vow to protect Shrek for life. But if Sister Xiyue hadn't tried her best to protect me during the previous trip to Xingdou, I would have been killed by the soul beast. So Le Xuan dared to ask Elder Mu for the child."

"Mr. Mu, Le Xuan begs you not to be angry at a child who is still ignorant. If Dean Yan has any objections, Le Xuan is willing to bear the responsibility for Tian Xi!"

After saying that, Zhang Lexuan stood up and knelt down in front of Mu En a without waiting for his response.

However, before her knees touched the ground, a gentle bright soul power supported her body, preventing her from kneeling and guiding her to stand up.

Mu En's half-lying body also shook slightly under the effect of soul power, revealing a frail face but one filled with a gentle smile.

"Kid, what are you thinking about? We are indeed deeply ashamed of what happened this time. I asked Shaozhe to apologize in order to resolve the resentment of Xuanming Sect. How could I blame a child who has just experienced the greatest tragedy in life?"

"When your senior sister Xiyue came to the academy, the ancestor of Xuanming Sect even went out of his way to greet me. Now I think I am really sorry for them. I was unable to personally apologize because of my disability. Otherwise, let alone Shaozhe being beaten, even if that kid wanted to beat me, I would have nothing to say."

Mu En's voice was soft and warm, and every word was filled with deep concern. It was like a soul-cleansing thing, which made Zhang Lexuan's eyes moist. She choked up and said, "Mr. Mu, how can you be blamed for this? No one expected that something like that would happen..."

"Alas... I won't deny that Xuanzi is primarily responsible for this matter. It was his complete dereliction of duty as the team leader that led to this misfortune. However, I no longer have the time and means to severely punish him. I really can't do anything..."

Mu En sighed deeply with a look of loss, then raised his hand and said, "Le Xuan, help me up."

Zhang Lexuan hurriedly stepped forward and held Mu En's hand. Mu En's movements were very slow, not much different from an elderly man. He slowly stood up from the wheelchair, but his waist was still hunched, almost at a ninety-degree angle.

Mu En looked quietly out the window in the distance, as if he could see Xuan Zi, Yan Shaozhe and other elders and the dean rushing here, and whispered:

"Le Xuan, my time is really running out. In no more than twenty years, I may have to leave. By that time, the only person who can inherit my position in the Sea God Pavilion and protect Shrek Academy is Xuan Zi."

"If God could give me another fifty years to train Shaozhe, you, and Beibei, I would definitely not condone Xuanzi's huge mistake. But God will not give me more years, and now Shrek must rely on his martial Spirit."

"I'm sorry, kid..."

Zhang Lexuan burst into tears and just buried her head to wipe her tears.

Mu En sighed and continued, "At this Seagod Pavilion meeting, I will propose that you become a candidate member of the Seagod Pavilion. When you enter the ninth ring, you will officially enter the Seagod Pavilion and be trained as a candidate for Pavilion Master. You and Beibei are my dearest children, and I look forward to your growth more than anyone else."

"When the day comes when you become the Lord of the Sea God Pavilion and have a strength that surpasses Xuan Zi, you can list all his past mistakes. That's up to you. But now..."

"Mr. Mu, please stop talking. I understand. I understand everything. I will definitely practice hard and protect Shrek..."

Mu En touched Zhang Lexuan's forehead lovingly and sighed, "Child, push me to the front for the meeting."
